Evaluation Of Pasture Systems And Grain Levels For Growing Beef Cattle With Prediction Equations For Estimating Animal Performance, Steven C. Fransen Jan 1982

Evaluation Of Pasture Systems And Grain Levels For Growing Beef Cattle With Prediction Equations For Estimating Animal Performance, Steven C. Fransen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A three-year grazing study evaluated native, native-interseeded range and a tame grass pasture production, quality and animal performance. Animal production and performance were evaluated with yearling steers fed corn daily at zero, 0.5 and 1.0 percent of body weight. Interseeding alfalfa into native rangelands enhanced sod-forming over bunch grasses and allowed alfalfa to become the dominant species. Alfalfa was not selectively graved in the interseeded range and in 1978 contributed 35 percent of the dry matter yield during the spring and summer. Forage quality declined with maturity; IVDMD and CP decreased while ADF, NDF, lignin and silica all increased with …

A New Assessment Of The Archaeological Significance Of The Ashworth Site (15bu236)., Philip James Diblasi 1954- Jul 1981

A New Assessment Of The Archaeological Significance Of The Ashworth Site (15bu236)., Philip James Diblasi 1954-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Reinvestigation of a National Register property, the Ashworth Rockshelter (15BU236), northeast of Shepardsville, Bullitt Co., Kentucky, revealed stratified Early Archaic through Mississippian components (ca. 7900 B.C.-1500 A.D.). Primary occupation occurred under the shelter and eight meters (horizontally) of talus were located. The depth of the deposit is two meters, the lowest third representing the Early Archaic period. Forty-five culturally-diagnostic projectile points delineated the strata. Seven well-preserved burials indicate early mortality, severe physical conditions, and a preference to bury under the shelter. Well-preserved mollusks and vertebrate remains indicate a subsistence shift from aquatic to forest-edge communities from Early to Late Archaic …

Economic Analysis Of The Changing Structure Of The South Dakota Pork Industry, Kevin Keith Weischedel Feb 1981

Economic Analysis Of The Changing Structure Of The South Dakota Pork Industry, Kevin Keith Weischedel

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In 1979, 3,232,000 hogs were slaughtered in South Dakota. Only seven states in the nation exceeded this total. This places South Dakota in a position of prominence in the national pork industry. There is considerable physical potential for further growth of the South Dakota pork industry. With ample supplies of land, labor, and feed grain available, the number of hogs and pigs in the state could expand. For this expansion in production to occur, state swine growers would have to alter production plans. The decision to increase numbers of hogs and pigs is influenced by many factors at both the …


An Ultrastructural Survey Of A Sarcocystis Species Found In The Wapiti Of South Dakota, William Justus Soeffing Feb 1981

An Ultrastructural Survey Of A Sarcocystis Species Found In The Wapiti Of South Dakota, William Justus Soeffing

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A Sarcocystis species found in the wapiti (American elk) of South Dakota was macroscopically, microscopically, and ultrastructurally examined. Macroscopic and microscopic examination provided typical features of a sarcocyst, whereas ultrastructural examination revealed unique features in the primary cyst wall and a quadripartite arrangement of organelles in the merozoite. The sarcocysts observed were shiny white elongated ellipsoids embedded in what appeared to be an intramuscular vacuole. The primary cyst wall consisted of densely packed palisade-like protrusions (villi) and a wide underlying ground substance. Distinctive features of the palisade-like villi included peripherally supportive microfibrils which did not extend into the underlying ground …


Effects Of Potassium Supplementation At Two Levels Of Lysine In Weanling Pig Diets, Siyambango L. Siyoto Feb 1981

Effects Of Potassium Supplementation At Two Levels Of Lysine In Weanling Pig Diets, Siyambango L. Siyoto

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

It has long been established that lysine is the first limiting amino acid in cereal based diets for growing pigs. Some studies have shown that corn is first limiting in tryptophan for growing pigs while other studies indicate that lysine and tryptophan are equally limiting. Soybean meal is usually added to corn diets to supply the lysine required but in some countries where soybean meal is not easily available, fish and meat meals are the common protein supplements. In the developing countries, soybean meal, fish meal and meat meal are not only in short supply but also very expensive. Lysine …


Oat Grain Rations For Growing And Finishing Cattle, Randal W. Rosenboom Feb 1981

Oat Grain Rations For Growing And Finishing Cattle, Randal W. Rosenboom

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Mechanical processing to alter physical and possibly chemical properties is one attempt to improve the value of a feedstuff. Processing methods such as grinding and rolling reduce particle size. These methods may result in an increase in rate of passage through the digestive tract but with more total efficiency in utilization of nutrients. This has been shown for roughages where grinding of hay resulted in improved daily gain and feed efficiency over those obtained with unprocessed hay. Reduction in particle size of concentrates has not shown the response in daily gain as that for roughages. Rather, the main advantage for …


Sport And Poetry : An Exploration Of The Inter-Relatedness Of Words And Actions, Ardis C. Resen Feb 1981

Sport And Poetry : An Exploration Of The Inter-Relatedness Of Words And Actions, Ardis C. Resen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Human experience is a basic element of the gossamer thread that is life. Communication or response to experience relates human beings to one another. Humans have an inborn desire to "tell” their experiences. Words accompany actions. Movement is experience that, in general, evokes response and expression. In sport, language is part of the game. Microphones bring the guttural responses of the participants closer to the audience. But actual words--language in a more refined sense have been devalued in recent years, especially in the area of sport, which should be rich in language. Today's culture seems to assume that the only …

Flora Of Ordway Prairie Compared To Other Prairie Remnants Of The Missouri Coteau, David J. Ode Jan 1981

Flora Of Ordway Prairie Compared To Other Prairie Remnants Of The Missouri Coteau, David J. Ode

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Hamlin Garland was an early twentieth century novelist whose parents homesteaded in Brown County, South Dakota in the late 1800's. To Garland this was the land of the Middle Border. By this expression Garland referred to that boundary existing between the land of the harvester and the land of the hunter. In many ways this region is still the land of the Middle Border, for it is in Edmunds, McPherson and Dickey counties where cropland meets rangeland, where the sub-humid Central Lowland gives way to the semiarid Great Plains and where the tall grass prairie intermingles with the mixed grass …

Alfalfa Products As Roughage And Protein Sources For Corn And Corn Stover Beef Diets, R A. Drake Jan 1981

Alfalfa Products As Roughage And Protein Sources For Corn And Corn Stover Beef Diets, R A. Drake

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

New feeds are continually being developed, especially from by-products of an industrial process which produces a product already in demand. For example, soybean oil meal was initially a by-product of an extraction process for soybean oil, a product in great demand at the time as the base material of paints. As the demand for the oil subsided, the by-product, soybean oil meal, assumed the major role as a protein supplement for livestock. Alfalfa, on the other hand, has always been an important feedstuff, as well as many of its related products such as alfalfa leaf meal and dehydrated alfalfa. The …


Solar Energy Intensifier-Thermal Energy Storage System Evaluation For Ventilation Air Pre-Heating, Scott R. Astleford Jan 1981

Solar Energy Intensifier-Thermal Energy Storage System Evaluation For Ventilation Air Pre-Heating, Scott R. Astleford

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Solar energy is widely recognized as an essentially inexhaustible energy source that has the potential to make major contributions to energy needs of various agricultural and industrial operations. Low quality heat produced from a low-temperature, inexpensive solar collector can be efficiently utilized to provide supplemental heat to livestock confinement buildings, harvested crop drying, or service water heating. Ample area for collectors, energy capacity for back-up and peak demand, and a wide range of applications enhance the potential for agricultural solar systems. Several factors of consideration exist in the design and development of a successful solar heating system. First, thermal energy …

Home Range, Home Range Expansion, Dispersal, And Mortality Of Juvenile Red Foxes In Southeastern South Dakota, Floyd M. Demaray

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Data from aerial and landowner surveys showed that red fox (Vulpes vulpes) families on the Sinai study area decreased from 13 (5.2 per township) in 1976 to 11 (4.4 per township) in 1977. The majority (88%) of the active red fox dens was located in pastures and idle lands although these cover types constituted only 24% of the available cover. Twenty-nine juveniles and 3 adults were captured and marked during spring, 1976. Trappers and hunters returned 62% of the tags placed on juvenile foxes. During spring, 1977, 15 juveniles and 2 adult red foxes were marked. Three juveniles were subsequently …


Woodpecker Nesting Habitat In A Prairie River Woodland, J. Barry Parrish Jan 1981

Woodpecker Nesting Habitat In A Prairie River Woodland, J. Barry Parrish

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Differences in nest site selection of the common flicker (Colaptes auratus), yellow-bellied sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius), downy woodpecker (Picoides pubescens), and red-headed woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus) were studied on the Big Sioux River riparian forest of eastern South Dakota during 1980 and 1981. Nest site preferences were compared using two-group stepwise discriminant analysis. Randomly selected potential nest trees showing no previous signs of cavity excavation were included as control groups. The yellow-bellied sapsucker-red-headed woodpecker function was the most efficient in separating groups because both species had specific nest site preferences. Sapsuckers nested only in live green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), characteristically in park-like …


Hydrolyzed-Lactose Whey And Nonfat Dry Milk In Ice Cream, Mohammed Serajul Islam Jan 1981

Hydrolyzed-Lactose Whey And Nonfat Dry Milk In Ice Cream, Mohammed Serajul Islam

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Sweet dry whey was used to replace 25% and 50% of nonfat dry milk solids in ice cream mix. Forty-five batches experimental and control lots of vanilla ice cream were manufactured. A commercial lactase was used to hydrolyze lactose to over 90% conversion and the lactase was inactivated after hydrolysis. The extent of lactose hydrolysis in the mix was adjusted to 50% or 75% by blending non-hydrolyzed nonfat dry milk and whey solids with hydrolyzed preparations. Extra sweetness of the conversion products permitted reduction of sucrose by 6.25% and 12.5%, respectively, in the 50% and 75% hydrolyzed lactose ice cream …
